I have a $15 off coupon for HSN - hardly worth it

My cable company sent a coupon with this month's bill for $15 off a minimum $20 order at Home Shopping Network. I figured I could find something worth using it.
Browsed their entire coin section online and couldn't find anything that would be worth it even after getting $15 off. The S&H is at least $9.95 (with a very few exceptions) - they even want $9.95 S&H for a $9.95 item!
Best I could come up with is a roll of state quarters for $24 + $9.95 S&H - $15 coupon = $18.95. There is some consolation in getting cash for less than face value, but it really doesn't make that $15 coupon pay off.
Anyway, if you can find something you'd like, feel free to use the coupon. It's only valid for first-time customers and you enter coupon #748421 at checkout. Looks like multiple people can use it. Good for $15 off a $20 order.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
